Football greats take to the field to support relief efforts

TWO of the world’s greatest footballers — Zinedine Zidane and Kaka — will take part in a match to support relief efforts in Haiti.

Brazilian Kaka who plays for Spanish side Real Madrid and former French World Cup winner Zidane will join forces for the 2010 “Match Against Poverty”.

The proceeds of the game will be donated to the Haitian aid effort.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) game will take place in Lisbon, Portugal.

Kaka, a UN goodwill ambassador for the World Food Programme (WFP), will join Zidane in the Ronaldo, Zidane & Friends team opposing Benfica All Stars on January 25.
